Gene name

RPL18

Description

ribosomal protein L18

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Ribosomal proteins

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a member of the L18E family of ribosomal proteins that is a component of the 60S subunit. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

Staining summary

Normal tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Neuronal cells of hippocampus, exocrine pancreas, rectum and stomach displayed strong positivity. Subsets of cells in seminiferus ducts of testis exhibited strong cytoplasmic and nuclear staining. Fallopian tube exhibited moderate cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Bile duct cells, cells in glomeruli, endocrine gland, Leydig cells, smooth muscle, cardiac myocytes, glial cells and mesenchymal cells were negative.
